GUNMEN have attacked a Libyan military post southeast of the capital Tripoli, killing 15 soldiers, an official and Libya's state news agency report.
The attackers rode vehicles topped with machine guns, the military official said.
The highway between the towns of Tarhuna and Bani Walid, on which the post was located, was closed immediately after the attack in an attempt to track down the attackers.
The official said the attack took place at Wishtata area, 60 kilometres from the entrance to Bani Walid, early on Saturday.
The town was one of the last strongholds for supporters of Muammar Gaddafi in the country's 2011 civil war, and was besieged again by pro-government militias last year.
More recently, Libya has been hit by a months-long wave of attacks targeting military officers, activists, judges and security agents. Much of the violence is blamed on armed groups with their origins in the anti-Gaddafi rebel movement.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity according to the regulations.
The Libya News Agency said another five soldiers were wounded.
